Yes. Why does something need to be done about it? If you want to outlaw something it behooves the people arguing for it to explain why it’s necessary to outlaw it, and why it’s worth the tradeoffs that come with outlawing it. Things aren’t prohibited by default.
In this case it seems to me that adding some kind of “right to analyze” that copyright owners could control would have a lot of utterly terrible implications and few if any positive ones.
So we shouldn’t do anything about it, and just let big corps scoop up all the data they want, regardless of ownership?
